OPERATE -- perform mathematic operation

OPERATION = $\langle{\tt string:1}\rangle$ 'SUM' operation to perform: 'SUM' | 'MULTIPLY' | 'DIVIDE' | 'POWER' | 'MOD'

RESULT = $\langle{\tt string:0}\rangle$ '' variable name for the result of operation

ARGUMENTS = $\langle{\tt real:0}\rangle$ 0.00 real arguments to the math operation

Description:: This command performs a specified mathematical operation. There can be up to MRPRM (120) operands for the 'SUM' and 'MULTIPLY' operations, but only two for 'DIVIDE' and 'POWER'. The RESULT value has to be the name of a real variable.
